Aug 8 Nainggolan to miss final preseason game against Atletico Madrid, hopeful to be back versus Sassuolo

Radja Nainggolan is expected to miss also Atletico Madrid, the final game of preseason. The Belgian suffered a thigh injury in the first minutes of the second friendly game against Sion which has effectively ruled him out for the entire preseason. Nainggolan is hoping for everything to work out so that he can return to the field against Sassuolo. The Belgian midfielder has only played 100 minutes in preseason and yesterday he continued to train separately from the rest of the team.
